Most of us have something in life we want to do differently. Something we want to be better at/better with, something we want to change for the better, long term. Some of us have many of these, some of us just one or two (good on ya), but there is usually always something.

Spending your work or leisure time more effectively, eating less junk food, being more patient, exercising more.

There’s people who believe people can’t change. I agree that some aspects of our personality or impulses are so hard-wired they will stay with us for life, but I see people change all the time. What happens to us, what we make happen – these things change us. Our behavior is under our control.

Behavioral changes are hard-won, but we can do it. We can do things differently. The only problem is that we are unable to make it last. How to make lasting changes in your life, that is the hard part.
